SAAFL Div 1 2008

[Shirtfront]

As a side question, list your 2 teams that will be RELEGATED this year.

[Pertaringa]

My pick is Broady's for the flag. Relegation very hard, maybe ROC's, and Gepps???

[Shirtfront]

I'm thinkin ROCS and Seaton to go down. Maybe a Goodwood V Broadview Final

[finn]

seaton and gepps cross down
goodwood to win over tea tree gully

[locky801]

Be interesting to see how Gepps X go with Jason Roe at the helm, he is an excellent coach and may well bring a few players with him to the club

[NO-MERCY]

finn-dont write off Jason Roe & his Gepps Cross boys.Jason has the ability 2 recruit quality players, as shown in past & remember where he's coming from (NORTH).i expect some fresh stock & 2 play a big part finals time.They have what alot of other clubs ain't $$$.

won't write off anybody, just basing on a bit of what I saw last year when gepp couldn't get over an undermanned uni side.
just making a prediction, happy to be proven wrong.

[NO-MERCY]

I know where your coming from finn & i think jason realises that 2.

[locky801]

Jason is pretty confident of what he can acheive next year, not sure what players he has in mind of luring or that have said there heading to Gepps but I know he was pretty happy with a number of the players on the current list, just a bit of fine tuning work needed. He may only have a year to prove his worth as I think there are bigger and better things in line for him

Yes i believe Marc Cox is leaving Seaton, dont think he really wanted to go there in the first place. It's not all his fault that he keeps moving.

Who's fault is it then ?

I am hearing conflicting reports. I've heard the Goody Saints maybe losing some players. Of recent the Wilson lads to Goolwa. Can anyone from the Goody Saints confirm this? Thought most the boys would be sticking around for another premiership tilt.

Good on Henley for taking on Ashley Place. Should be an excellent pick up for the A1 Reserves Competition. Those of us at Seaton have long waited for him to go. Cant see Stephen Hall putting up with Place and his attitude to football and his constant run ins with coaches. Suppose that seeing this fool in the early games will get more people through the gate early I suppose and a good money spinner for Henley. Actually it might be a good move by Henley to get people early at games.

In my long term association with the Big Al's Rams - Placeys has thought he was bigger than the club himself and every coach who had him had serious trouble with his attitude. Should have seen Brazza and Tits trying to control him as his coach

From Hodges to Brant to Peucker to Hodges again. They all have wanted to sack him in the past, but it was only Big Al's faith in Placey that kept him. Big Al only really gave Placey more lattitude than anyone else as his father was a past great of the club and continually tried all other methods to discipline him. He had to work the Car Park, work the Bar, work the Kitchen and a squillion other forms of punishment before he just went too far this year.

You could hear the abuse Placey was yelling at the Seaton coaching staff from my position under the verandah. Unbelievable that anyone put up with his crap for the last 8 or so years. Good on Scotty for getting rid of him as we are better without him. Hoping he does not kick too many goals in the A1 Reserves against us next year. Good luck Stephen Hall - you need it. Guessing that Hall will not see much of him in the late game as he will be kicking the dew off the ground at 12.15

Gaza as Premiers for 2008, Just believe that they are the best club in A1 and will have learnt from the past few seasons of having such a slow defence. Darren Mead was not appointed until just before Christmas last year and now will have seen what player are required to take the title next year. Will get some quicker players coming from defence and forget about all of the shrink stuff. They have been the best side in A1 for many years, just dont have any silverware to prove it. - Premier

Goodwood have done a remarkable job in winning the last 3 Flags, but expect a large fall from grace next season. With many defections by many players and a loss of hunger might see them flop backwards quicker than most might think. - 6th place

Dont underestimate Gepps X as Jason Roe is a good coach and Gepps are back in the offering many, many $$$$$$$$ at players. So expect a large improvement. Gepps do lack one thing though. They are not a true club and lack a united front. They are vey well run from a Bar, Food, Bingo, TAB side of things, but always seem to come unstuck with their sporting teams. Appears that many, many people have a lot to say at Gepps and if not in favour by the 4 or 5 wise men you are a dead man walking. Appears that they cant leave the coach to coach and people on the Board run the club. Seem to always
get their jobs mixed up at Gepps. In saying that though - would expect them to make the 5 but not the GF - 4th place

Tea Tree Gully - Second year blues maybe and will be around the mark but maybe later part of the 5 - 5th place

Port Districts - Will play Gaza in the GF coming from A2. With so many of the Port Under 19 team being pushed into the Reserves at Port Magpies next year, the Magpies are getting rid of many Reserve players. Guess where they will all end up.
Port Districts or Port Magpies Thirds. Take which ever name you like, but underestimate at your peril. - 2nd place

Henley - Got a coach with huge recruiting influence, so expect a big leap from the Sharks. Will finish in the 5 but history suggests that you cant buy a purchase a premiership especially in the first year. Having Inkster and Luke Duncan will be fantastic, losing Rosewall is a big loss and still no ruckmen. A lot of players to come from the Eagles still and a lot to like
about the Sharks this year but could be found wanting on big grounds. Seem to be attracting many crocs back to the club
who lack leg speed. Might have been good players in their day but exactly that - in their day. Still lack big men in key posts and need to get more of them while they are still splurging with the big coin - 3rd place
